Have a hard time putting a tire on? Lay it out in the sun for 5 minutes before you try to put it on the wheel. Guarantee an easier time.

That's a tough tire, but it's also much more expensive and higher performance than the Rubino Pro. So did you have any challenge mounting it?

Almost twice the price, you're right.
I wanted to try a different alternative but the Rubino Pro didnt work out.

Looked for gp5000 in 28 cant buy in uk.
went for rubino 2 pro TL 28mm - some ads said 250gram. Weighed them and they are 348gram. Plus sealant of 60g (60ml) will be 408gram erk.
Hard to get last bit of tyre on. Resorted to plastic lever. Popped onto bead ok with 60psi.
No fluid leaks visible at all. No airleaks.
made in thailand.
Bouncing the wheel they feel wooden and not springy. Solid not a race ot TT tyre. Ok for touring and med speed club runs.
(Bought to replace faulty WTB EXPOSURE tyres which leaked sealant and latterly air thru sidewall. 70psi to zero overnight. Trash.)
